Dharamshala: Representing Domey Malho Sokdzong’s community, Tibetans from India and Nepal offered Tenshug (long-life prayers) to His Holiness the Dalai Lama at his residence yesterday.

As His Holiness’s long and healthy life is a collective aspiration of six million Tibetans, therefore Tenshug is an offer made in the forms of prayers to pacify all the obstacles and adversities of His Holiness’s life ahead.

After the elaborate ceremonial offerings, the members informed His Holiness about the recent development and revival of monasteries in the region of Malho Sokdzong which were otherwise destroyed and degenerated. His Holiness took the news gladly while lauding them and meanwhile advised them to pay more attention to the reviving of the ancient study of Buddhism.

Later that day, a delegation led byTom Tait who is the 45th mayor of Anaheim met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the residence.

Speaking to the reporters gathered at the residence, Tom Tait informed that under his leadership, the people of Anaheim state have initiated programs to establish and promote love and compassion inspired by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

He further informed that the purpose of their meeting with His Holiness was to attain His Holiness’s guidance and counselling on the newly launched program.
